ReplyDeleteI think they are using fear to control the people by keeping them inside the village.
ReplyDeleteEverybody in the village repressed their hardships by making themselves an ideal society.
ReplyDeleteI realized that the color red depicts a sense of evil.
ReplyDeleteDoes the blood on Noah's hand signify something about Noah?
ReplyDeleteNothing is very scary about people living Amish/in the olden days, until you realize people are being lied to and scared into submission
ReplyDeleteThey sent Ivy because she will not be able to (directly) see the modern city.
ReplyDeleteI think that her being blind helps her stay more calm.
ReplyDeleteThe red berries from the forest are the same as the berries Noah gave to the main character.
ReplyDeleteThe adults in the village were dressed as monsters to scare the people.
ReplyDeleteI think the black box is the same as the one in the lottery. It holds something no one wants to acknowledge.
ReplyDeleteI think that the color red and the beasts color represent that we all have little beast inside of us because of our blood
ReplyDeleteI think they left the towns because they were scared because of what happened to their families.
ReplyDeleteThe elders are scaring the people into staying in the town.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know for sure that yellow was the 'safe' color. Was Noah trying to kill Ivy?
ReplyDeleteNoah is actually kinda scary.
ReplyDeleteI realized that the monsters weren't actually monsters, they were just the elders of the town dressing up.
ReplyDeleteI realized that the creature, as far as we know, is something people of the village made up for whatever reason
ReplyDeleteThe elders dressed as the monsters to keep their weird outcast town together, but it ended up backfiring
ReplyDeleteI underStand that how he people are trying to keep he legacy going throughout the town
ReplyDeleteI realized that the color red kind of plays a big role, might revel evil
ReplyDeleteThe monsters are fake
ReplyDeletethe people in the village created the idea of those who we dont speak of, they arent real.
ReplyDeleteWhat were the elders trying to hide the people of the village from?
ReplyDeleteNow I understand why the creatures were created
ReplyDeleteThat the people in the village know who and what the people in red in the forest are.
ReplyDeleteI think that her not being able to see shows the idea of the unknown
